Also scruff did mention a while back that only Jess is on the tenancy which is really strange..I think that's to claim for 25% discount on council tax which you get when you supposedly live on your own.
Exactly and sorry but myself my other half have fell on hard times before and applied for UC but because both our names are on the tenancy neither of us could claim UC to top up our wages as as a household our joint income (while not being enough to survive on at the time) was still too much to claim it. And we weren't earning even half of 60k a year.
So that tells me that the tenancy is only in Jess' name and that heave claims to live alone also officially
